EndNote Sync

You can synchronise your EndNote library with the References in your EndNote Online library.

EndNote is the desktop version of EndNote

EndNote Online is the online version of EndNote desktop.

The Sync process is always initiated from EndNote desktop.

The Sync process automatically synchronises both sets of References so you will have identical Groups and References in both EndNote and EndNote Online. Group Sets will not be created in EndNote Online during the Sync process.

This includes all data changes to references (including file attachments). For example, if you add or remove references and/or PDF files in EndNote, then those changes are updated in EndNote Online and vice-versa.

The Sync process includes updates and additions to groups in both libraries. For example, if you create and add references to a new group in EndNote, then you will see this group in EndNote Online the next time you run the Sync process.

Sync Preferences

Sync Preferences allow you to set your preferences so that:

You do not have to enter your e-mail address and password each time you synchronize your references between EndNote and EndNote Online

You can have EndNote automatically begin the Sync process every 15 minutes (background processing) by selecting the Sync Automatically check box
